He contended that subsequently, the State Government has decided to place the promoted Hostel Superintendent Grade – C by counseling. Petitioner was not called for counseling initially at District Level and Divisional Level Committee, however, petitioner was called for counseling at the State Level Committee. According to the order dated 13.01.2026, petitioner was posted at Tribal Post Metric OBC Boys Hostel, Sonhat, District – Korea, Chhattisgarh. As the petitioner was not given an opportunity to participate in the counseling proceedings at District Level and Divisional Level, petitioner is made to suffer. He further submits that petitioner has submitted representation dated 14.06.2025 before the Respondent No. 2 (Annexure P/5), however, till date representation is not considered and therefore, direction be issued to the Respondent No. 2 to take decision on the pending representation at the earliest. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the Respondents/State submits that as the petitioner is not pressing this writ petition on merits, but is only seeking a direction to the Respondents No. 2 to consider and decide the representation dated 14.06.2025 (Annexure P/5) submitted by the 3 petitioner, he is having no objection. If the representation is still pending consideration, it will be considered and appropriate orders would be passed in accordance with law. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents enclosed along with the writ petition. 5. On due consideration of the submission of counsel for the respective parties, facts and circumstances of the case, nature of grievance raised by the petitioner, this writ petition at this stage is disposed of directing the Respondents No. 2 to consider and take decision on the representation dated 14.06.2025 (Annexure P/5) submitted by the petitioner in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a further period of 03 weeks from the date of receipt of the order. 6.
